Raksha Bandhan
The sacred thread of love, duty, and protection celebrating the eternal bond between brothers and sisters.
Raksha Bandhan
Mythological Story
Raksha Bandhan is rooted in numerous sacred legends. In the Mahabharata, when Lord Krishna hurt his finger with the Sudarshana Chakra, Draupadi immediately tore a piece of her silk sari and tied it around his wound. Touched by her sisterly love, Krishna vowed to protect her dignity under all circumstances. Another legend recounts Goddess Lakshmi tying a sacred thread on King Bali's wrist to bring Lord Vishnu back to Vaikuntha.
Spiritual Significance
Raksha Bandhan symbolizes pure, selfless affection and a lifelong commitment to protect and support one another in times of trial.
Puja Vidhi & Celebration
Sisters apply Tilak, perform Aarti for their brothers, tie the holy Rakhi on their right wrist, and feed them sweets. Brothers present gifts and take a pledge to safeguard their sisters.
